;
As Nitrogen is a dried gas, so it can dry the system; but if the moisture is too much, maybe it
can not dry the system thoroughly. So when install the refrigerant piping, please be careful
enough to prevent the water coming into the pipe or the condensated water.
3. Vacuum drying one more time: pumping the system for 1 hours;if the pressure is less than -
75mmHg, then it is OK; if it can not reach -75mmHg, then it should go back to item 2, then
item 3.
4. Stop vacuum pumping and wait for 1 hour
5. Additional refrigerant charging
6. Open the vale to charge.
Please note that the gas must be nitrogen, if oxygen is used by mistake, it can result in
explosion
